I like, that they used the screenshot, I have as my profile pic.

Goodfellas?

Unique photos from Villa Ipe (Yakuza house, in this episode, a "garden pavillon" built in 1987) in a relatively new book about its designer Kenneth Treister. We see the narrow designer pools, the room where Castillo and Tanaka met and also the kitchen that was used in this episode and also in "Jack of all trades". https://thebigbubblemiami.com/iconic-miami-architect-kenneth-treisters-new-book-examines-many-of-his-greatest-local-works/

As we discussed Villa Ipa (home of Jack Crockett that was also used in Rising sun of death) recently... when I looked for Lombard´s home in WOT - which is not Villa Ipa - I found a great book about Kenneth Treister´s works, one of the key architects in SFL/Miami from 60s to 80s next to Alfred Browning Parker and more recently Max Strang. This book contains terrific pictures and great info about long gone Villa Ipa (it was called "Ipa" on the daily production sheets of "Rising sun of death" which I own), called here Ville "IPE" which was built in 1987 according to this book. It contains the only proof pictures of Villa Ipa I have seen anywhere. Treister also designed other MV landmarks like the Mayfair complex used in Jack of all trades, Too much, too late (e.g. the fountain where Switek makes his phone call), French Twist and even the Elizabeth Verrick park in the Grove used in Too much, too late and The Fix. Enjoy! Special interest for @miamijimf?

Here's one to pass the time, which season is your favorite and why ? Mine is season 2....

Hello people! Been a longtime lurker here, so I thought well...there seem to be great community and content here...why not register and talk about my favorite TV series of all-time? I've been exposed to Miami Vice ever since I was a kid in the 80s (shielded from its content by my parents, but to no avail). See you guys on the forum!

Welcome Pal! This is a GREAT forum. Tons of cool information, fascinating trivia, and lots of living the Vice life in full 80’s color! People here are fantastic as well. Always helpful, always fun. Enjoy.

Welcome back to the 80's! If you can't find what you're looking for, just ask and I'm sure one of our many "Vice" experts will be able to help!

In Amen... Send Money Reverend Bill Bob Proverb says, "And now, people, since I gotta go home and take care of my sweet Leona in our $1.75 million Arquitectonica house, I wanna play one of her tapes". What is Arquitectonica? It is an architecture firm based in Miami but with offices around the world. You can read about the firm in detail and view their projects here: https://arquitectonica.com/architecture/ I don't know if Miami Vice single-handedly made this firm famous, but the show certainly played a role. Some of their projects: Atlantis (Hit List, opening montage, Viking Bikers From Hell) Pink House (No Exit, Mirror Image) Villa Regina (French Twist) The Palace (French Twist) Villa Regina & The Palace in Viking Bikers From Hell North Dade Justice Center (Line of Fire)

It is probably cliche to say this but; Ludovici Armstrong (from the Calderone's Return episode). Because he's smart, very efficient, and pretty mysterious. I like that scene when he's eating an ice cream while Tubbs and Crockett walk unknowingly past him.

Welcome! Right place to be for any MV maniac!

The popular 5m+ subscriber YouTube channel "Looper" done a "Where are they now?" video on Miami Vice! Here's the link

Miracle Mile

Archie, “The Good Collar”

Another favourite.

It could be interesting if they re-booted Vice in different cities each season. New York Vice San Francisco Vice New Orleans Vice. Lots of dirt and darkness in those places.

Tery Ferman. A model who divorced a photographer who later married the "blind" lady in the Lionel Richie "Hello" video. She vanished. Can't find her online anywhere. Maybe she remarried and changed her name.

@Tom, check this out: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/655-N-Mashta-Dr_Key-Biscayne_FL_33149_M62461-89907#photo32 says it was built in 1994 but look at the layout. It's damn close to what I've sketched! And the aerial from 1986 looks even closer. Maybe the original house was blown away by Andrew and the rebuilt it with a similar layout? Hell even the slabs and the coral walls match

Nancy Valen (Home Invaders and a very brief cameo in Great McCarthy). Had a bit of a crush on her as a kid thanks to her guest appearance on "Saved By the Bell".

Correct. Little bit of trivia, Annette Bening seen here starred in "Red Tape"

Here's a short retrospective on what happened to the stars of Miami Vice https://youtu.be/rSiyoICGPFQ

The Flirts - Helpless (You Took My Love) 1983 - Season 1. Sounds like the song in "Little Prince" when they chase that guy at the beginning.

Benjamin Orr - Stay The Night Released in 1986 (Season 3)

Ely Pouget from Junk Love. Absolute stunner.

Get to de choppa!

Looked lovely in “Freefall” also as Rico’s love interest again.

Very attractive lady.

I've always liked María Duval who played Isabell Batista in Kill Shot. Not the best pic of her. She's high on my list. Never could find much about her, must have quit acting.

opening teaser of "Evan" - Peter Gabriel's Rhythm of the Heat so appropriate for Miami Vice since Peter Gabriel was the first adopter of the Fairlight CMI

After rewatching the series again recently I had forgotten much of "Freefall". This one is kinda bittersweet, because you realize it's the last time we get to see such awesomeness!!

Season 1, its probably TV's greatest ever season.

I'm with you, but I feel like 2 was when the series figured out what it was style and storyline wise

My take on the same today

Nice, very Tubbs-approved! Are those original B&L 5022s?

Another sloppy pic but my recreation of the Golden Triangle look (my favorite outfit ever)

Some birthday R&R!

Cinder from Baseballs of Death. heads are turning everywhere.

yeah she's nice. and that one isn't bad either

Now we're talkin'!!
